This photo tour takes place during the best time to photograph Iberian Lynx, wintering raptors, Ibex in the rut and Common Cranes in Spain. We will be photographing from blinds which are setup for different species. Each of the blinds typically seats 3 photographers so we will be alternating between hides. There is an Imperial Eagle hide, Goshawk hide, Golden Eagle hide, Bonelli’s Eagle hide, Marsh Harrier and Kite hide (up to 15 species of raptor can be photographed at this hide during the winter), Griffon and Cinereous Vulture hide, Crane hide and small bird drinking pool hide. When photographing the Ibex we will be walking. There are also some photography from the vehicle and walk around photo opportunities but the majority of our time will be spent in the hides. We will be staying in 4 star accommodation throughout including two nights in a beautiful castle. Possible extensions include the South of Spain for Iberian Lynx and more Imperial Eagle or the Pyrenees for Bearded Vulture and other mountain species, contact us for details.
